- Aphid IMG
Threat level: 7
Location: every where except Antarctica
Control: ***1 tbsp Dawn original dish soap mixed with 1 gal water - kills aphids dead*** OR Neem oil (coats soft bodied insects and basically suffocates them, so application must be direct)
Biological Control: Assassin bugs, lacewing larvae, lady bugs (aphids are too small for most praying mantes)
Prevention: Neem - preventative spraying (not as aggressive as trying to control an infestation); keep area clear of dead or fallen leaves, utilize pest control on surrounding areas (I use a systemic insecticide on ornamentals that surround my peppers - of course, make sure none of it gets on or near the pepper itself - never use systemics on edible plants)
Damage caused: Sap Suckers - will cause leaf loss and could possibly lead to plant death
Smaller plants can be dunked in a bucket with neem solution, spraying works well just be sure to get the entire plant, top and bottom of leaves.
Spray every 3 days for at least 3 total applications.
